After careful deliberation, Team Geek has decided upon a badge set, which they feel best suits our aesthetics and culture.

CONGRATULATIONS FUNPUNCH!

FunPunch's irreverent designs, which come complete with a mascot for the forum, are as follows:

We will modify these graphics slightly to reduce their dimensions and to correct one small typo, before rolling them out later this week.

Thanks again to all those who took the time to enter. I sincerely hope that our future geek/create contests (another one of which will be launched this month) attract an even greater number of entries. It's amazing to see what you folks can produce when challenged.

FunPunch will be contacted within hours with the offer to choose between the following four prize options:
1. $100 cash paid via PayPal
2. $100 Amazon.com gift certificate
3. One year's hosting under the "Business Basics" package by GC Host, which is valued at approximately $150. This includes 100MB space, 2GB data transfer and the provision of exceptionally personal service.
4. Four month's advertising placement within the "bottom region"'s text advertising panel on Geek/Talk. This region is outlined here and the placement is valued at $199.80.

WOW! What an exciting first news of the day. I am thrilled by the thought of most popular web masters forum will be using our created badges on their site. Man! I am feeling so lucky.

And a bundle of thanks to the Admin for holding such an exciting contest and to Team Geek for selecting us as winners. We hope this success will open a whole new avenue for our illustration/animation business.

Thanks for expressing an interest in the next geek/create contest. While I can't give you a definite launch date, I hope to have the next contest running before the end of August. I've already decided on the task, so it's now just a matter of defining the brief and prize selection.
